Click 'Session' -> 'New Session'

In the new window fill in your host ip, your login (username for quickbox)

Port: 4747

And at the bottom remember to use XFCE as the session type.

Now hit 'OK'.

After your new session have been created click on it at the right side and fill in your password when asked.It should now start connect to the X2GO server.

Now open up a Browser on your server and go to: http://localhost:31400/web

You should now be good to go!

Q: How do you open up a browser on your server if its headless?A: When you use x2go, it installs a GUI. (example) My server is in France and headless and x2go produces a GUI that I then run the default browser in from the connected X2Go session.
